And in Taco's typical, capricious manner, the change was implemented without a chance for comment by users or even an announcement.
He still thinks this is his little kingdom. I guess when LNUX is finally delisted, VA folds, and the bankruptcy trustees order the machines taken away, he'll finally get it.
The "editors" apparently decided that they don't want us to see our karma. I think they realized the trolls look at low negative scores as an accomplishment.
I wonder how much this will alienate the good posters--as if the karma cap didn't already do that.
Try K5 if you want a real community. If you want to troll, though, this is the place.
The same way you tell them you killed a family of 4 in a minivan when you were swapping files with the guy in the lane next to you with your bluetooth MP3 player.
Only an open source GNU hippie wouldn't buy something because it supported a patent infringing, inferior music format like OGG. Yer lucky it supports MP3--to truly protect intellectual property and artists, it should only support secure formats like WMA and Liquid Audio.
How friggin difficult can it be to coordinate the efforts of 4 to 6 guys?
How friggin difficult can it be to properly speak and spell English? That said, I only troll here now. My real participation is on k5, where all the intelligent people from/. went when the big, big banner ads, subscriptions, and editor moderation came to light.
C'mon, ya' turds. Mod me down. I'm trying to get to post at -1.
Because unlike TV, you can only share so much bandwidth--once you've reached the cap on the bandwidth your subscription's already paid for, you can't use any more. You can't use any more bandwidth by sharing it than you are capable of using with one machine connected to that cable modem.
OK, I was trolling, and you bit. But this paragraph got me:
The web has opened up freedom. It's given back to individuals power to communicate with others on a large scale...previously held by so called REAL press. You should give people more credit...bad 100% factless rumor sites are quickly weeded out...the strong ones survive.
I think you'll find that individuals have the "power to communicate with others on a large scale" if and only if they 1. don't piss off anyone powerful and 2. have the money to pay for it. Consumer-grade "internet access" is deliberatly asymmetric, having very low upstream bandwidth, and terms of service that disallow what most would think of publishing in the majority of cases.
Who does that leave in charge of the great internet publishing "revolution"? That's right. Exactly the same companies that are in charge now.
You keep thinking whatever you want, buddy. But you're wrong.

Nice going, AT&T.
That's the editors modding you down. Typical /. tyranny. Yes, it's their site, but it's shit without users, which is the way they're headed.
Wow, look at those unlimited editor mod points fly. You're quite the little price, aren't you.

. . . for the poor guys from DoD who were thrown in jail? They could probably use some moral support, a few bucks for smokes, or a file.

Yeah, then I can start sniping at kids like you again when you're back out on the playground. Witless n00b.

Open source and adware are inherently incompatible.
But Taco's "joystick" is certainly no X-Box controller by any means, if rumors be correct.
Primvs postvs.

Fair enough-I learned something today! I assume the sovreign wouldn't be addressed as "thou," either, since that's the familiar?
Get your hands off my first post, you damn dirty AC!
just doesn't have the same ring to it.
First! First! Yay!
That machine was so cool--with the 40 column window onto the virtual 80 column display.
